Overview & Special Stitches
Yo Yo Shells has a 4 row repeat pattern.
- The pattern looks complicated, but is quite simple once you get going.
Special Note:Â when the pattern calls for you to ‘work over the ch5sp of the row below’ this means you need to catch it in with the sc.
Â
Stitches used:
- ch
- sc
- dc
- double fan
- v-st
double fan = 4dc, ch1, 4dc
v-st = dc, ch1, dc
Foundation Chain
Chain a multiple of 8 + 2Â
